Field is not writeable SObjectException

I've been working on the trailhead training for apex triggers

However I keep getting an error in the developer console: "AccountAccess Trigger: Field is not writeable: Account.SippingAddress. I've scoured the forum but I haven't found anything that has been the answer to my problem. Thanks in advance for your help! 
trigger AccountAddressTrigger on Account (before insert, before update) {
    for(Account a : Trigger.New) {
        if(NULL != a.BillingPostalCode && a.Match_Billing_Address__c == true){
			a.ShippingAddress = a.BillingAddress;
        }
    }
}

Address fields are compound data type, so when you adding values to standard address field then you have to write separately like street, city, postal code etc.,

Billing Address Field
  • BillingStreet
  • BillingCity
  • BillingState
  • BillingPostalCode
  • BillingCountry
  • BillingLatitude
  • BillingLongitude
Shipping Address Field
  • ShippingStreet
  • ShippingCity
  • ShippingState
  • ShippingPostalCode
  • ShippingCountry
  • ShippingLatitude
  • ShippingLongitude
